Optimus G breaking chargers

Hey guys. So my Optimus G has gone through three different chargers now. The LG one that comes with the phone, a Samsung one, and a rocketfish one. The LG one being the first I used. I know it's not the outlet cause I charge my nexus 7 on the same one.
The LG and rocketfish chargers broke when I tried to charge my phone from being completely drained. The Samsung one just kinda stopped working. All three of them maintain a flat line charge if Im not using my phone. But once I start using my phone, it continues to drain even though it's plugged in.
You can see what I mean at the end of the graph. Its was plugged in for 45 mins.
Have any of you had this problem or have seen it? And any idea what's going on?

I had an issue with the charging and it turned out to be the cable.. that said if you try a different cable and its still a no go, id send it for service

Is your phone rooted?

[Q] Must wrap cord in order to charge

Hi folks,
Been having this problem for a little while now and decided I'm fed up with it. My Verizon GN will only charge if I wrap the cord around it as such:

I have tried multiple cords and the problem always persists. Any suggestions on now to go about getting this fixed?
Thanks!

Since you have tried multiple cables.. It could be the wall piece of the charger not having a good connection around the USB, try a new one of those.

LOL....
sorry didnt mean to laugh.
1) the power cube/brick(where the USB attaches) might be faulty
2) the charge slot on the phone might be faulty
3) all of the above

How do I go about fixing this?
Appreciate the input!

It may the electronic where its charging. I recently moved out of an area where the power was bad and suffered a similar issue to a new area and now my phone has had issues

It sounds like probably the USB port on your phone is bad. Wrapping the cord around the phone must hold the plug in just the right position it needs to be in to connect correctly.

[Q] E4GT Not Charging

My phone isnt charging,,,well really it charges but maaaaaaaaaad slow. Its not the ROM because i have been on two since this problem and i usually switch between those two ROMS. i think something is wrong with the MicroUSB port. Everytime i put the phone on a charger it starts and stops charging like it has a short in the wire. i know its not the charger because i have used 3 different wires and tried another E4GT ITS the phone. My question is...how can i fix this? I used to use my sisters E4GT to charge up the battery and put it in my phone but she stop letting me do that so now im SOL.

Bad battery or bad charging port, buy a couple extra batteries and an external charger.... If it's the charging port, there is no way to fix it without taking it to a professional, if it's the battery, buy a new one.

i suppose u are charging it from PC? i used to get same problem, htc phone do that when they have unlocked bootloader and are connected to pc and shut down.
just unplug it from PC and restart it holding POWER and VOLUME UP keys for 5 - 10 sec

Yea I got it figured out. It did it when I had it charging from the outlet not the PC. I plugged it up to the PC to try and get it to reboot. But I got it. Thanks

its just showed you that your bootloader is unlocked. not a big deal.

[Q] Charge port picky on charging

So my wife has the S3 phone, and when she plugs it in, she has to do a song and dance just to get it to charge. While it's just sitting, most times the connection notification sound will go haywire as the connection is loose. I've tried using different cables and it's the same thing. It's a factory phone, no mods done to it as she'll kill me if I do anything to it. Has anyone dealt with this? Did you bring it in? Would I be charged a fee to get it replaced with the same phone? Thanks for your input.

You could always just buy extra batteries and an external battery charger. Then you never have to plug it in. They are cheap on Amazon.
